Looks like there are a few dead pixels in the bunch...
just kidding, that's pretty amazing, and definitely takes more discipline than most of us americans have.

PS: Lots of fun to watch in fast forward

Wait till they Go High-def....

O.O nice !

That is really pretty cool, much like drum corps here in the states but a different performance idea completely.

Nice!

What were they spelling at the end there? I couldn't make it out.

It's pretty amazing. Mind you, why do they to be serious yet laughably silly at the same time?

That's a halftime show I would watch. Better than lip-syncing, bubble-headed pop stars and goofy post-modern dancers. (Though Prince was pretty awesome this year)

I feel like an underachiever having done only college level marching band.

I can wait for Sony's "1080p"eople version, but instead of cardboards they carry Ps3s.

I don't think my liver could stand so much wholesome fun.

@Demial: Anycall, Samsung's big cellphone brand.

oh looks, like the recruited some people over from North Korea for this show? Those guys have mad card stadium performance skillz.

That is like a biological epilepsy army. If we did that in America, it would probably be sponsored by Git-R-Done Beer and look like a mass grave.

@ MURPH
Prince did rock the Superbowl. I don't care, the man has some jams. I have no idea how they came up with that match though. My Mom was psyched, she's a huge fan, aka a woman.

The refresh rate is terrible.

No commercial interruptions.

Big deal, this was how Montezuma watched Futbol.

This is truly awesome. Is it some sect of the the Japanese population that has formed their own Samsung-land?

@stirgeon: Dude... Samsung is Korean.

"Pride in Samsung."

Also I really want to dance now.

@KEVINANDRE91
I believe the North Koreans already do High Def.
haha.

I think I heard "Yatta!" somewhere in there.

Anyway, my first reaction was the same, that this kind of coordination and memorization would never be possible in the US.

It stinks!

Wow, that was pretty good!

"I'm in ur Stadiumz, Flippin my cardz"

You'd be surprised to know that the "corporate sponsored dancers" are actually the new employees of Samsung Electronics. This was the finale to their initiation/training/team building exercise. Pretty amazing and at the same time kinda freeky.

let me get this straight:

samsung makes high tech lcd tv's which they prefered not to use, instead rely on humans to power pixels...

does this mean:
a.their tv's dont work that well
b.humans are more dispensable than tv's
c.the miniature version of these humans are in your samsung tv's

my guess is c, that's why those tv's are so damn heavy. and expensive.

That level of coordination, or at least dang close to it, happens on football fields around the country every fall as high school and college marching bands take the field.

Now, that level of coordination with that many people... not usually quite so much. but it's pretty cool to see what 50-300 folks can do on a football field while playing instruments.

Yeah, I was the band geek. :)

pride in samsung.
this is what we fought the korean war for. To preserve capitalism for south korea so they could do this.
I think it was worth it.

@Demial: they're spelling anycall... its a label on global samsungs...

is that running in 720(p)eople or 1080(i)ndividuals?

@bobvilla: I was going to say the same thing! . . . Pretty impressive, all the same.

Wow. That's all I can say about this.

Hey ma! I found my calling, I'm moving to South Korea to become a pixel cheerleader. Maybe one day Samsung will even sponsor me! Don't cry...you can show your friends videos of me from Youtube. Love you...

All that effort with a remix of "Go West" by the Village People?

..and the new medium for porn was born

The North Koreans won't be able to perfect their High Def version until they get more rice...

Nice. I felt like that dunkey on the movie Shrek when they went into that town and saw the welcoming animation.

TONYROCKYHORROR beat me to the punch!

Wow, that was pretty astounding. I mean, it's one thing to be that coordinated, but it's another thing for everyone to remember all those steps. This thing went on forever!

Good work, Sammy and team!

This is the 2006 Samsung Summer Festival in Korea, which is given every year for all of the new Samsung employees from the previous year. I got to go (as one of ~30 Americans in a sea of about 10000 Koreans) and it was incredible. This video shows the Communications employees-- hence the cell phone formations. Korean dance music: really awesome.

Too bad it was all an ad. I'd like to see an artist do something with that medium. Someone with a sense of humor. You know--an animator.

Still, props.

Pure awesomeness. I need a shirt like that.

Sorry for the double post, but by shirt, I mean a costume that can reveal a variety of colors instantly.

The refresh rate is faster than sony's e-ink, and in color! I think if Samsung sells a h-ink reader, I'll seriously consider it before Sony's offering.

Human CGI... I love it.

@SEC: If that's true, that's amazing stuff. I'd wager the morale at Samsung is unbelievably high.

Can you spot the dead pixel?

Say what you want, but that was absolutely amazing.

OMG, Bad Pixel

God bless Samsung! I'm off to buy one of their tellys right now.

@KOTHMIA Stop trying to make yourself feel better about band camp. It was equally enriching as a seminar on the number 56.

Aside from the people that actually practiced synchronized sports, I think everyone can agree that Americans just aren't that coordinated.

Watch the guy (?) in the bottom middle go off like a chipmunc on LSD trying to do the chicken dance.

Best video I've seen in a while!

Oh and brilliant music.

I'm sold. Samsung can have all my money. And my first born as well!

reunification with the North will be less a lot easier than I figured.

Ok, S Koreans DO take the cake on geekdom. That was THE GEEKIEST display of anal compulsive cooperation between vast quantities of bud(dies) I've ever suffered through. kudos.

This school is Yonsei. Which I currently attend, they are playing their theme song. Probably prepared for this to go against their rival Korea University. You can tell by the colors and the theme song. Its great to see them compete against each other.
